"Deze locatie is geschikt wanneer je een echte basic ervaring wilt. Breng zeker ook je eigen eten mee en wel alvorens je naar de locatie toegaat. De weg 7 km er naartoe is bijna onbegaanbaar voor normale auto's. bij aankomst was onze boeking onbekend. De kamer had geen airco of enige bescherming tegen ongedierte door de deuren of ramen heen. En we hadden geen stromend water. Het winkeltje heeft nauwelijks assortiment en het restaurant nauwelijks hygiëne en smakelijk eten"

"We stayed four nights and loved our experience. The breakfast was a highlight (made-to-order with coffee, juice, fruit, and local specialties). The owners helped us navigate activities in the area. We really enjoyed our time in the hammock and views from the upper terrace. *If you stay, ask about buying some homemade fruit preserves."
